Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both sides are given, set both sides equal to eachother.

3x + 1 = 5x - 9

Segment CM is on the left and segment MB is on the right. From now on, solve for x.

Step 1: Isolate x by itself by subtracting the lesser value

3x + 1 = 5x - 9

-3x -3x the x's on the left cross out

---------------------

1 = 2x - 9

+9 +9 having x on one side

----------------

10 = 2x

__________________________________________________________

Step 2: Divide each side by 2 to get rid of x's coefficient

10 = 2x

/2 /2

----------

5 = x

Solution: x = 5

__________________________________________________________

Solving for CB: Substitute x for both sides since x = 5

3(5) + 1 = side CM

15 + 1 = side CM

16 = side CM

__________________________________________________________

Solving for CB: Solve for the other side (segment MB)

5(5) - 9 = side MB

25 - 9 = side MB

14 = side MB

__________________________________________________________

Solving for CB: Lastly, add up the sides

16 + 14 = segment CB

30 = segment CB

You deposit $175 in an account that pays 4% interest compounded quarterly. How much will you have in the account after 2 years?

melomori [17]

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$175\\ r=rate\to 4\%\to \frac{4}{100}\dotfill &0.04\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{quarterly, thus four times} \end{array}\dotfill &4\\ t=years\dotfill &2 \end{cases}$

$\bf A=175\left(1+\frac{0.04}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 2}\implies A=175(1.01)^8\implies A\approx 189.50$
